We visited Pałac w Pszczynie as a family group (2 adults, 1 senior, and 4 children) and had a lovely time exploring this beautiful historic site. You can purchase tickets at the gate close to the main Square of the city or inside the castle there is a ticket machine too. A nice lady in the office offered us the best price for us with discounts for big family card holders and for seniors etc.
The palace itself is truly impressive – well-preserved interiors, rich in history and beautifully furnished. Walking through the elegant rooms felt like stepping back in time. We admired the grand staircase, chandeliers, and antique furniture.
There are informative signs in each room, although younger kids might benefit from a interactive exhibit to keep them interested longer.
The palace is surrounded by a lovely park, perfect for a relaxing walk or picnic after touring the interiors.
Overall rating: 5/5 stars – a must-see attraction...

There is no audio-tour available for the Prince’s Stables.

There is a great balance here between the over the top decorations of the Renaissance period and more masculine/medieval features that I personally found very attractive.
Some of the features are outright stunning such as the unusual wooden tiles in the entry hall and the...
